Colin is my Peeta

It looks so sappy and lame written in bold print up there but it’s true. I have known a time when I didn’t think I could love Colin in that way. A time where I actually did everything I could to push him away. Due to fear.

yep, we love each other

Good thing he wouldn’t allow it.

We’re a strange match but that’s why we work. He is my calm and I am the storm. Sometimes the only place I feel safe is in his arms. That’s why while I was reading the Hunger Games all I wanted was for her to choose Peeta….no spoilers here but I think you know how I feel about it 😉

I may have mentioned it before but I feel like Colin compliments me. I love the idea of this relationship because most people search out looking for completion. A completion that doesn’t exist. No one can complete you but someone can help you become whole. And that’s what he does for me.

In a world that never stops haunting me he is my grounding source of safe.

So last night while we were having some much needed ‘down time‘ and a few drinks we picked out a whole whack of “your e-cards” that we felt we could relate to.

The Peeta one was so funny because I told Colin about this post, that I had in as a draft 😉 and then we were arguing about movie choices as per usual …..our movie genres are so bi-polar it sucks. For some reason cuddling and watching Tangled for the 6th time just doesn’t appeal to Colin 😉

Anyway, so here are our e-cards….

a) Grammar. Colin was raised on proper grammar. I suck at it. However, I’ve since been trained and will continued to be trained by him and his father. They taught me the difference between “me” and “I” in proper context and basically 90% of the world uses them wrong – thanks for pointing it out to me guys. Ignorance IS bliss.

example:will you guys be coming to the party? Yes, Colin and I will be coming. Did you have fun at the party? Yes, thanks for inviting me and Colin, we had a blast! (people will always say Colin and I – but you’d never say “thanks for inviting I”) <—- food for thought.

b) Egocentric. It was a pregnancy goal of mine to become a “milf” after Logan was born. Call me vain, superficial, narcissistic, whatever – I’ll call it like I see it “I’m a MILF” <—- Colin told me so 😉 Now all I need are breast implants….or in my case another Handful bra!

c) Interruptions. Another one for Colin – he was telling me all about how much I interrupt him. I asked him what the heck he was talking about, but that was in the middle of his explanation and therefore I have no idea.

d) Rebellion. Having pre-marital sex – the real reason Colin and I are even together 😉

Logan was a surprise but we definitely found a lot more love through him and all his amazingness God bless him. To this day I am so thankful that he came into my life because he allowed me to finally see and accept the “Peeta Mellark” right in front of me 😉

We just love each other I can’t wait to have another baby!!!

and just because I love you guys I’ll let you see this incriminating old photo of Colin and me…..

* Colin is gagging and calling me a nerd right now – he’s not impressed. – Yep, we do have a back story. We dated when we were teens. and then broke up and met up almost 8 years later…..I’ll tell it to you one day *

Questions:

1. go pick an ecard that you think describes you and post below in the comments.

You can use <img src=”http://…..your link…..” width=”400″> hopefully that will work. If not just link it up or write it out.

2. are you in a relationship?? if, so what’s your favourite thing to do together? (no sex descriptions please)

I love just going for a walk with Colin and chatting in the moonlight. Sitting by the lake or walking through the trees.

Omg hahahahahaha that last pic is priceless!!! I really love that family shot. You guys are all so beautiful!

I AM in a relationship with a pretty delicious looking man. What do we like to do? I just like to stare at him with his shirt off hahaha kidding (kinda). I like working out with him! Going for walks is one of our favourite things to do together too

Dean NEVER uses “you’re”. It’s like it doesn’t even exist for him. He only used “your” no matter what he is trying to say. I have tried to explain it to him for so long now but he just won’t accept another word in his vocabulary!

I think my favorite part of this post is that you have to ask readers not to comment on their sex lives. That just cracks me up for some reason!

Love those ecards and I have definitely spent way too much time in the past looking through them. Favorite thing to do with Tim is probably long, slow scenic runs – that and eating chocolate and watching marathons of bad reality TV shows together!

Omg I was cracking up at the last picture! Love it!!!! Haha, I love Colins beard. 😉
I actually knew you grammar tip! Do I ever use it? nah. 😉 Love all the ecards. 😀 Can’t wait to hear the story of you guys sometime!

First date with my husband was my 18th birthday (Aug 1991). Dated all through college and married Aug 1995. We’ve had the usual ups and downs of relationships, but are in such a good place right now. Our kids (now 8 and almost 11) are at the age we can leave them for short periods of time and spend time together without always having to juggle a babysitter. I love just taking a walk or sitting on the porch or laying in bed and talking. I love how proud he is of me and all that I’ve achieved. I love how awesome of a dad he is and how helpful he is in making our household run smoothly (or with as little chaos as possible with two busy kids!). I haven’t read the Hunger Games yet so I don’t totally “get” the reference. But I have a soulmate and I can’t envision my life without him in it.

OK…..so that last “younger” photo totally reminds me of GREASE. I think Rydell HIgh (if I remember the school name correctly) even had red sweat outfits…he looks a bit like Danny Zuko (spelling?) and that would make you his Sandra Dee.

I relate to this entire post – I am certainly a storm and Peter calm (my family always sides with him). But Peter SUCKS at grammar and spelling and always have to help him! So… I saw The Hunger Games for the 2nd time Friday – it makes me not really like Peeta anymore. They casted way too wimpy of a guy compared to how hot Gale is!!!

I am waiting for Peter to come home from his man trip. I haven’t seen him since Monday! I think we will do our favorite thing – order hot wings and waffle fries and watch the comedy shows we have on DVR.

Almost every Friday we go to the movies – we have opposite movie likings and we alternate who picks the movie each time!

I know! Last night (we were drinking a bit) but I was laughing so hard at that one – like ridiculously over-laughing. B/c of the same reason. I think I’m more likable online b/c it’s impossible to interrupt in typing 😉 lol

and Colin and his dad will love you for that proper use of I 😛

motorbikes! cool. I used to hang out with a bunch of people that liked to ride. I was just that girl that sat on the back or drove the quad while they rode dirtbikes 😛

I think you are dead on with how so many people are looking for someone who “completes” them when really, you are complete all on your own! Compliments are so much better and bring out the best in each other My boyfriend and I have been dating since I was 15 (he was 16; we’re now 21 and 22) and we have the best time just while driving somewhere in the car! Laughing at each other’s taste in music, singing, talking about our days, its so simple but it really is the best!

I’m glad we share a sense of humor and an understanding that I am slightly funnier.

Jack and I have been together 8 years, 11 months, and 3 weeks, but who’s counting ?
We are happy just sitting in our favorite chairs at night. He watches TV and I pretend to watch TV while I am reading blogs and such. One of my favorite things about us is that we say the same thing, at the same time, so many times. I love the laughter that we share.

p.s. when I saw the post title I thought you were really saying that he is your P.I.T.A. (pain in the…)
Peeta is so much nicer

I love it when Danny and I get in the car and just drive without anywhere to go… We talk and sing along (loudly) to songs on the radio.
I definitely relate to the interrupting e-card… Danny is the WORST for not letting me finish what I am saying and it drives me bonkers!!
How cute were the teenage versions of you and Colin?! So sweet

Aww I loved reading this post, you two are just such a lovely couple! It really made me smile Tom has taught me a lot about grammar that I didn’t previously realise, obviously I was never awful but he knows much more haha. The interrupting e-card made my morning though, I’m always interrupting Tom 😛 One of my favourite things to do as a couple is go for walks too, I also absolutely love just curling up together with a blanket and watching a film together or read

Hey friends! As most of you know I have two very special men in my life that both celebrate birthdays in January so I hope you won’t be offended that I’ve spent my last two weeks preparing for both of their special days 😉 Logan turned 5 on the 11th!!!! ….Can you believe I have a 5 year old!? …Can you believe this baby that started the blog with me is now a young man?! ….I am MIND BLOWN! He of course had a cake request all ready. He wanted ..”a 5 shaped cake mom, with butterflies on it” –

Hey guys! It’s a new year. This time of year always make me think blogging is something I truly love to do….. BUT…. ….that could be largely based on the fact that it’s the same time of year my subscription to BlueHost renews 😉 It was 2012 when I first ventured out from Blogger to a self hosted blog…. I can’t believe how young Logan is there…..how young I am. This is Logan today…..along with new brother Hudson. Kids grow fast. FACT. Even I look different…. ……but still eerily expressive 😉 Anyway…..I can’t tell you what my blogging goals

Hi there! Remember me? ….I won’t be offended if you don’t. However, I like to think I’m pretty unforgettable 😉 Anyway, it’s been a while. I haven’t run a true run since last year’s ATB (when I was 14 weeks pregnant). Now Hudson is 7 months old!!!! my how time flies…. …..He’s pretty cute isn’t he? but obviously I’m bias. So back in January the cutest Laura from My Pink Thumb, also a new mom who had fallen off the running train, asked me if I’d like to run Colour Me Rad with her as a come back to the

….since I last posted. It’s so weird but obviously you all understand. One can’t write a running blog without running 😉 I’ve been busy walking with Rex and hanging with the family. I rarely update the fb page (but at least you’ll know if I post) but I do post on instagram I was looking back at some of my old posts and noticed that I never could successfully start running in the cold winter months. I had to start in the spring and continue on till winter. Because by then you’re addicted and you’ll be crazy and run outside and not
